The Care Of The Teeth.
FEW PRACTICAL HINTS FOR THEIR
PRESERVATION.

The National Dental Hospital, in
London has issued a leatlet on the
care of the teeth, which, though it
may be nothing new, it is so practi-
cal that it is well worth quoting.
l. The teeth should be clearsed
at least once day, the best time be-
ing bedtime. Use a soft brush and
small quantity of soap and some
prepared chalk, brushing up and
down. Slight bleeding Of the gums
does no harm.
l. Teeth were never intende, for
use as nutcrackers or thread cutters
as even the best teeth are injured by
such misuse. At the first sign of
decay in tooth the further progress
OF the decay should be stopped, as it
can be by competent dentist
g. After children have attained
the age of four years their teeth
should be examined periodically
by q dentist.
4. The mouth should be thor
oughly rinsed night and morning.
S. Wheaton bread is more iniur-
ious to the teeth than any other sort.
A close following OF these hints
will abyiate great deal of teeth ex-
tracing.

Receipts.

A BAKED APPLE FOR BREAKFAST.
Wash and core the apples, fill the
space in each with good brown sugar
set them in pan, add one cupful of
hot water and bake in hot oven.
Remove the apples when done, and
take the skin from one MASKING the
pulp and adding it to the fruit Juice

juice over the apples and they will

For THE LUNCH BASKETBALL or.
ange will keep cut bread or buiscuit
fresh when IN the same package, and
the same orange will serve for several
days for different supplies of sand
wiches. Do not select rusty skin
ned orange, as you want the fresh
ness to permeate through the skin,
and the brown and black rust keeps
all this freshness in the inside OF the
orange. Any clear-skinned, light
colored orange will do. So says an
Exchange.
CHOCOLATE MACARooNs.-Melt ov

LOUNGES of chocolate without sugar;
then work it TO thick paste with
one pound of pulverized sugar and
the white of three eggs. Roll the
mixture down to the thickness OF
